Writer Mark Waid, coming
from his popular work on Flash and Impulse, and artist Alex Ross, who broke
new ground with the beautifully painted MARVELS, join together for this
explosive book that takes place in a dark alternate future of the DC Superhero
Universe.

Batman, Superman,
Wonder Woman, and almost every other character from DC Comics must choose
sides in what could be the final battle of them all. It's the early 21st
century. Without the guidance and values championed by the old guard--Superman,
Batman, and Wonder Woman--a younger generation of super heroes is ravaging
the world. "Kingdom Come" is the story of what defines a hero in a world
spinning inexorably out of control, and of the final battle that could
determine the fate of our planet.
